PROXY STATEMENT

GENERAL INFORMATION

This Proxy Statement is being furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of OSI Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) for use at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders (“Annual Meeting”), to be held at 10:00 a.m., Pacific Time on December 9, 2021, at our offices at 12525 Chadron Avenue, Hawthorne, California 90250, and at any adjournment thereof.

We are making our proxy materials, which include the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders, Proxy Statement, Proxy Card and our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Proxy Materials”), available to our stockholders via the Internet, although registered stockholders and those stockholders who have previously requested to receive printed copies instead will receive their Proxy Materials in the mail. We anticipate that the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials will be mailed on or about October 25, 2021.

Stockholders of record as of the close of business on October 14, 2021 will receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials contains instructions about how to access the Proxy Materials and vote via the Internet without attending the Annual Meeting. If you receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials but would instead prefer to receive a printed copy of the Proxy Materials rather than downloading them from the Internet, you may do so by following the instructions for requesting such materials included in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials.

If you are a stockholder that receives a printed copy of the Proxy Materials by mail, you may view the Proxy Materials on the Internet at http://www.proxyvote.com. However, in order to direct your vote without attending the Annual Meeting you must complete and mail the Proxy Card or voting instruction card enclosed (postage pre-paid return envelope also enclosed) or, if indicated on the Proxy Card that you receive, by telephone or Internet voting. Please refer to the Proxy Card that you receive for instructions.

When a proxy is properly submitted, the shares it represents will be voted in accordance with any directions noted thereon. Any stockholder giving a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time before it is voted by written notice to the Secretary of the Company by issuance of a subsequent proxy as more fully described on the Proxy Card. In addition, a stockholder attending the Annual Meeting may revoke his or her proxy and vote in person if he or she desires to do so, but attendance at the Annual Meeting will not of itself revoke the proxy.

At the close of business on October 14, 2021, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting, we had issued and outstanding 17,941,393 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value (“Common Stock”). A majority of the shares issued and outstanding on the record date, present in person at the Annual Meeting or represented at the Annual Meeting by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Shares that are voted with respect to any proposal are treated as being present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of establishing a quorum. Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder of record thereof to one vote on any matter coming before the Annual Meeting.

A Proxy Card, when properly submitted via the Internet, telephone or mail, also confers discretionary authority with respect to amendments or variations to the matters identified in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and with respect to other matters which may be properly brought before the Annual Meeting. At the time of printing this Proxy Statement, our management was not aware of any other matters to be presented for action at the Annual Meeting. If, however, other matters which are not now known to management should properly come before the Annual Meeting, the proxies hereby solicited will be exercised on such matters in accordance with the best judgment of the proxy holders.

Abstentions and broker non-votes represented by submitted proxies will be included in the calculation of the number of the shares present at the Annual Meeting for the purposes of determining a quorum. “Broker non-votes” means shares held of record by a broker that are not voted because the broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares and either lacks or declines to exercise the authority to vote the shares in its discretion.

Proposal One. In accordance with our Bylaws, directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast, and the nominees who receive the most votes will be elected. Proposal One is considered a “non routine” matter and, accordingly, brokerage firms and nominees do not have the authority to vote their clients’ unvoted shares on Proposal One or to vote their clients’ shares if the clients have not furnished voting instructions within a specified period of time prior to the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on Proposal One. Votes marked “withhold” will not affect the outcome of the election of directors.

Proposal Two. In accordance with our Bylaws, to be approved, the ratification of Moss Adams LLP as our independent registered accounting firm must receive the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares of Common Stock present in person or by proxy and cast at the Annual

OSI Systems, Inc. | PROXY STATEMENT 1

PROXY STATEMENT

Meeting. Proposal Two is considered a “routine” matter and, accordingly, brokerage firms and nominees have the authority to vote their clients’ unvoted shares on Proposal Two as well as to vote their clients’ shares if the clients have not furnished voting instructions within a specified period of time prior to the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on Proposal Two.

Proposal Three. In accordance with our Bylaws, to be approved, the proposal regarding our executive compensation for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 must receive the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares of Common Stock present in person or by proxy and cast at the Annual Meeting. Proposal Three is considered a “non-routine” matter and, accordingly, brokerage firms and nominees do not have the authority to vote their clients’ unvoted shares on Proposal Three or to vote their clients’ shares if the clients have not furnished voting instructions within a specified period of time prior to the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on Proposal Three. The vote on Proposal Three is advisory and therefore not binding on the Company, the Compensation and Benefits Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) or the Board. Although non-binding, the Board values the opinions that our stockholders express in their votes, and the votes will provide information to the Compensation Committee regarding investor sentiment about our executive compensation philosophy, policies and practices, which the Compensation Committee will be able to consider when determining executive compensation in the future.

All stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will receive either the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or a printed copy of the Proxy Materials. We will pay the expenses of soliciting proxies for the Annual Meeting, including the cost of preparing, assembling, posting on the Internet and mailing the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials and the Proxy Materials. Proxies may be solicited personally, by mail, by e-mail, over the Internet, or by telephone, by directors, officers and regular employees of the Company who will not be additionally compensated therefore.

The matters to be considered and acted upon at the Annual Meeting are more fully discussed below.

PROPOSAL 1 ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

NOMINEES

Our Board consists of seven members. At each annual meeting of stockholders, directors are elected for a term of one year to succeed those directors whose terms expire on the annual meeting date.

The seven candidates nominated for election as directors at the Annual Meeting are Deepak Chopra, William F. Ballhaus, Kelli Bernard, Gerald Chizever, Steven C. Good, James B. Hawkins, and Meyer Luskin. All of our director nominees are currently directors of the Company and were previously elected to serve on the Board by our stockholders.

The enclosed Proxy will be voted in favor of these individuals unless other instructions are given. If elected, the nominees will serve as directors until our next annual meeting of stockholders, and until their successors are elected and qualified. If any nominee declines to serve or becomes unavailable for any reason, or if a vacancy occurs before the election (although we know of no reason to anticipate that this will occur), the proxies may be voted for such substitute nominees as the Board may designate.

If a quorum is present and voting, the seven nominees for directors receiving the highest number of votes will be elected as directors. Abstentions and shares held by brokers that are present, but not voted because the brokers were prohibited from exercising discretionary authority (broker non-votes) will be counted as present only for purposes of determining if a quorum is present.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

BOARD ROLE IN RISK OVERSIGHT

Our Board is responsible for our risk oversight. Risks we face include competitive, economic, operational, financial, accounting, liquidity, tax, regulatory, foreign country, safety, employment, political, cybersecurity, and other risks. Risks are reported to our Board through our executive officers, who are responsible for the identification, assessment, and management of our risks. Our Board regularly discusses the risks reported by our executive officers and reviews with management strategies and actions to mitigate the risks and the status and effectiveness of such strategies and actions.

To optimize its risk oversight capabilities and efficiently oversee our risks, the Board delegates to its committees oversight responsibility for particular areas of risk. For example, the Audit Committee oversees management of major financial risks, including risks related to accounting, auditing, financial reporting, and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. The Risk Management Committee oversees management of key enterprise risks, including strategic, operational, legal, regulatory, and compliance. The Nominating and Governance Committee oversees risks related to the effectiveness of the Board. The Compensation Committee oversees risks related to our executive compensation policies and practices. The Technology Committee oversees risks related to technology matters.

BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE AND LEAD INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR

Our Chairman of the Board is our Chief Executive Officer. We believe that currently combining the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman serves as an effective link between management’s role of identifying, assessing and managing risks and the Board’s role of risk oversight. Mr. Chopra possesses in-depth knowledge of the issues, opportunities and challenges we face and is thus well positioned to develop agendas and highlight issues that ensure that the Board’s time and attention are focused on the most critical matters. In addition, our Board has determined that this leadership structure is optimal because it believes that having one leader serving as both the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer provides decisive, consistent and effective leadership, as well as clear accountability. Having one person serve as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer also enhances our ability to communicate our message and strategy clearly and consistently to our stockholders, employees, and other companies with which we do business. Although we believe that the combination of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer roles is appropriate under current circumstances, we will continue to review this issue periodically to determine whether, based on the relevant facts and circumstances, separation of these offices would serve our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders.

The combined Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer position is balanced by the number of independent directors serving on our Board, our independent committees and our Lead Independent Director. William Ballhaus is currently our Lead Independent Director and brings to this role considerable skills and experience as described above in “Election of Directors.” The role of Lead Independent Director is designed to further promote the independence of our Board and appropriate oversight of management and to facilitate free and open discussion and communication among our independent directors.

COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY AT THE COMPANY AND ON THE BOARD

We are focused on creating a diverse and inclusive workforce. We strive to attract and retain top talent, foster an inclusive culture, and embrace diversity. We are also committed to diversity at the Board level. Our Board considers diversity, including gender, racial, and ethnic diversity, when considering nominations to the Board. The Board’s objective is to have a Board comprised of individuals who by occupation, background, and experience are in a position to make a strong, positive contribution to our Company and our stockholders.

Good We have a separately designated, standing Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Audit Committee makes recommendations for selection of our independent public accountants, reviews with the independent public accountants the plans and results of the audit engagement, approves professional services provided by the independent public accountants, reviews the independence of the independent public accountants, considers the range of audit and any non-audit fees, and reviews our financial statements and the adequacy of our internal accounting controls and financial management practices. All members of the Audit Committee are independent, as independence for audit committee members is defined in Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Exchange Act and the Listing Standards applicable to our Company. The Audit Committee currently consists of three independent directors. The Board has determined that, based upon his work experience, Mr. Good qualifies as an “Audit Committee Financial Expert” as this term has been defined under the rules and regulations of the SEC. Information regarding Mr. Good’s work experience is set forth above under “Election of Directors.” To date, no determination has been made as to whether the other members of the Audit Committee also qualify as Audit Committee Financial Experts. There were four meetings of the Audit Committee during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021.

PROPOSAL 3 ADVISORY VOTE ON THE COMPANY’S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2021

Background

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd Frank Act”) enables our stockholders to vote to approve, on an advisory, non-binding basis, our executive compensation for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 as disclosed in the Proxy Statement in accordance with the SEC’s rules, including Section 14A of the Exchange Act. We currently conduct this advisory vote on an annual basis, and the next advisory vote is expected to be conducted at our 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Summary

Our Board is committed to excellence in governance and is aware of the significant interest in executive compensation matters by investors and the general public. We are asking our stockholders to provide advisory approval of our executive compensation as such compensation is described in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section, the tabular disclosure regarding such compensation, and the accompanying narrative disclosure set forth in the Proxy Statement. We recognize and value the critical role that executive leadership plays in our performance. Our executive compensation philosophy is intended to ensure that executive compensation is aligned with our short- and long-term business strategy, objectives, and stockholder interests. Our executive compensation is designed to attract, motivate, and retain highly qualified executives. We believe that our compensation policies and procedures are centered on pay-for-performance principles and are strongly aligned with the short- and long-term interests of our stockholders.

We urge you to review the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of the Proxy Statement and executive-related compensation tables for more information.

Emphasis on Pay-For-Performance Principles

We believe that executive compensation should be tied to our performance on both a short-term and long-term basis. We believe that our continued success is closely tied to the performance of our executive officers and have designed our compensation practices in order to reward the executives for their contributions to our overall success.

Alignment with Stockholders’ Interests

We grant annual incentives based in part on each executive’s contribution to enhancing our short- and long-term profitable growth. We also grant long-term equity-based incentives as a substantial component of the compensation program to reward long-term performance and further align the interests of management with those of our stockholders. In recent years, we have generally used restricted stock units (“RSUs”) as our equity incentive vehicle as these awards enable the executives to establish a meaningful equity stake in our Company while allowing them to participate in future value creation through appreciation of the shares. These awards tie the executives’ interests to those of long-term stockholders and serve to motivate the executives to lead us to achieve long-term financial goals that are expected to lead to increased stockholder value. In addition to linking compensation value to stockholder value, these awards generally have vesting conditions, which creates a strong retention incentive and helps ensure the continuity of our operations. For fiscal year 2021, 100% of the long-term equity incentives granted to our Named Executive Officers consisted of RSUs subject to performance vesting based on the compound annual growth rate of revenue and operating income.

Long-Term Performance

In order to promote our philosophy of pay-for-performance and furthering our objective of aligning the interests of management with those of our stockholders, we have established performance programs for certain of our executive officers. These programs focus on the achievement of our long-term financial goals and factors that create long-term stockholder value. By establishing performance targets tied to key corporate financial metrics, we are incentivizing our officers to achieve our long-term corporate objectives and ultimately increase stockholder value.

Highlights of Fiscal 2021 Executive Compensation Program

The Board believes our executive compensation program is designed appropriately and that a vote in favor of the proposal is warranted, including for these reasons: (1) 100% of Named Executive Officer equity awards for fiscal 2021 were performance-based and tied to measurable pre-established targets; (2) in light of recent strong performance, we amended our annual incentive program to adjust the

OSI Systems, Inc. | PROXY STATEMENT 13

PROPOSAL 3

annual targets upwards; (3) we are committed to having strong governance standards and continue to take steps to further this commitment; and (4) we value the opinions and feedback we receive from, and we continue to engage with, our stockholders, and our executive compensation program directly reflects our stockholders’ input.

1. 100% Performance-Based Equity Awards for Named Executive Officers.

100% of the equity grants made to our Named Executive Officers during fiscal 2021 were performance-based and tied to pre-established targets. Our 2021 performance-based program established revenue and operating income targets which require significant annual growth as compared to baseline measurement levels. The revenue metric is weighted at 20%, and the operating income metric is weighted at 80%.

For the annual performance period ended June 30, 2021, compound annual revenue growth as compared to the baseline measurement level was 4.5%, and compound annual operating income growth as compared to the baseline measurement level was 17.8%. As a result, our CEO earned 43,219 shares in accordance with the program.

2. Increased Targets for Annual Incentive Program.

For fiscal year 2021, in light of recent strong performance, we amended our annual incentive program to adjust the annual targets upwards as set forth in the section titled “Annual Incentive Awards”.

3. Corporate Governance and Best Practices: We are committed to having strong governance standards with respect to our compensation programs, procedures, and practices.

We have taken the following actions to enhance our corporate governance and executive compensation policies:

■

Engaged with stockholders and incorporated stockholder feedback when establishing our executive compensation programs to address specific stockholder feedback.

■

Appointed a Lead Independent Director to further promote the independence of our Board and appropriate oversight of management and to facilitate free and open discussion and communication among our independent directors.

■

Prohibited hedging and pledging of our stock by executive officers and directors. As of the date of the Proxy Statement, no shares of our stock are pledged by any Named Executive Officer or director.

■

Adopted a robust clawback policy that provides that if an accounting restatement is required due to material non-compliance with any accounting requirements, then we will seek to recover any excess in the incentive compensation earned by all of our executive officers, regardless of whether they were at fault or not in the circumstances leading to the restatement, over the prior three years over what they would have earned if there had not been a material restatement of the financial statements. We have also included clawback provisions in each Named Executive Officer’s employment agreement.

■

Established rigorous Company stock ownership guidelines requiring each executive officer to own Company stock valued at least at five times his annual base salary. These guidelines align the executives’ long-term interests with those of our stockholders. In addition, prior to attaining the 5X share ownership guideline, each executive is required to retain at least 50% of the shares acquired upon exercise of options or vesting of restricted stock or RSU awards, net of amounts required to pay taxes and exercise price.

4. Communications with Stockholders: We maintain open lines of communication with our stockholders, and our annual cash incentive and long-term incentive programs reflect the stockholder input we received.

Our Compensation Committee takes very seriously stockholder feedback with respect to executive compensation. At our 2020 annual meeting, approximately 98% of the votes cast on the advisory vote on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers were in favor of our executive compensation. Considering the robust level of support of our stockholders of our compensation program, our Compensation Committee determined to continue to apply the same approach with respect to compensation policies and decisions for fiscal 2021.

Our Board believes that the information above as well as that provided in the section entitled “Compensation of Executive Officers and Directors” contained in the Proxy Statement demonstrates that our executive compensation program was designed appropriately and is working to ensure that management’s interests are aligned with the stockholders’ interests and support long-term value creation. The following resolution will be submitted for a stockholder vote at the Annual Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the stockholders of OSI Systems, Inc. approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K of the SEC, including in the section entitled “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the accompanying compensation tables, and the related narrative disclosure contained in the Proxy Statement.”

The Board unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the approval of our executive compensation for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. Holders of proxies solicited by this Proxy Statement will vote the proxies received by them as directed on the Proxy or, if no direction is made, in favor of this proposal. In order to be approved on an advisory basis, this proposal must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present in person or by proxy and cast at the Annual Meeting.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Advisory Vote on Named Executive Officer Compensation; Stockholder Communications

We maintain open lines of communication with our stockholders, and senior management routinely interacts with our stockholders on a number of matters, including executive compensation, in order to better understand their opinions and to obtain their feedback. Further, the Compensation Committee considers the outcome of our annual say on pay vote when making decisions regarding our executive compensation program. At our 2020 annual meeting, 98% of the votes cast on the advisory vote on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers were in favor of our executive compensation policies. Considering the robust level of support of our stockholders of our compensation program, our Compensation Committee determined to continue to apply the same approach with respect to compensation policies and decisions for fiscal 2021. At the upcoming Annual Meeting, we will again hold an annual advisory vote to approve executive compensation. We will continue to engage with our stockholders throughout the year, and the Compensation Committee will consider the results from this year’s and future advisory votes on executive compensation, as well as any feedback received from stockholders.

Governance Highlights

We are committed to having strong governance practices with respect to our compensation programs, practices and procedures. We believe that these practices reinforce our emphasis on tying executive compensation to performance. The following chart highlights some of our governance practices with respect to executive compensation:

	What We Do			What We Do Not Do
	Use 100% performance-based vesting for Named Executive Officer equity awards Have formulaic performance-based annual incentives Maintain a robust clawback policy Maintain share ownership and retention guidelines for executives and directors Conduct an annual say on pay vote Maintain open lines of communication with stockholders			No excise tax gross-ups upon a change in control No hedging, pledging, or speculative transactions are permitted by executives and directors No re-pricing of underwater stock options No stock option grants with an exercise price less than fair market value No “single trigger” severance payments owing solely on account of the occurrence of a change in control event

Executive Compensation Summary

Fiscal 2021 Performance

During fiscal 2021, we performed well, delivering excellent financial and operational results, while managing COVID-19 related challenges. Throughout this unprecedented time, we continued to deliver on commitments to our customers and partners while ensuring the continued safety of our employees. We (a) delivered strong revenues and earnings per share; (b) achieved record operating cash flow; (c) expanded our operating margin; and (d) completed one strategic acquisition.

Leverage Business Infrastructure. Even as we launched new products, entered new markets, and invested substantial amounts in R&D, we actively leveraged our business infrastructure and maintained intelligent cost management.

Growth in Markets and Opportunities. In fiscal 2021, we continued to expand our addressable markets through new product introductions and targeting of markets that did not previously represent a significant source of revenues. This dynamic approach has served, and we believe it will continue to serve, to sustain growth over the long term. Some of our key achievements during fiscal 2021 include the following:

■

New product launch of our Lifescreen® Pro event screening system in our Healthcare division.

■

Acquired the developer of a productivity software solution in our Healthcare division, that not only leveraged our existing operating infrastructure but also provided entry into growing market segments.

■

Established a new third-party relationship to market a body scanner product in our Security division.

■

Progressed significantly in our R&D programs for the development of new products and technologies.

Building a Foundation for the Future. We continue to make significant targeted investments in R&D and acquisitions. In fiscal 2021, we completed one strategic acquisition in our Healthcare division. We believe that these types of acquisitions and investments, as well as other product development programs that are currently underway, will result in enhanced business outcomes for years to come.

Executive Compensation

Role of the Compensation Committee

Our Board appoints members to the Compensation Committee. Each member of the Compensation Committee is independent within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the SEC and the Listing Standards, as currently in effect. The Compensation Committee is responsible for establishing and approving all compensation for our Named Executive Officers, including base salaries, annual incentives, long-term equity incentive compensation, benefits and perquisites, and other compensation. The Compensation Committee may delegate certain of its responsibilities to a subcommittee, to individuals or to others.

Compensation for each of our Named Executive Officers (other than our Chief Executive Officer) is recommended to the Compensation Committee by our Chief Executive Officer. Compensation for our Chief Executive Officer is established by the Compensation Committee on its own.

The Compensation Committee has designed an executive compensation program that is focused on the attainment of consistent, long-term stockholder returns through (a) aligning executives’ incentives with both single-year and multi-year performance, and (b) attracting and retaining executives with capabilities to lead the Company to excel in a competitive landscape. This structure is designed to emphasize pay for performance while simultaneously mitigating risk exposure.

Executive Compensation Program Elements

The particular elements of the compensation program for our Named Executive Officers consist of both fixed compensation and variable compensation. Consistent with our pay-for-performance philosophy, we structure our compensation program such that fixed compensation is a relatively small percentage of total compensation whereas variable compensation comprises a significant percentage of total compensation. The Compensation Committee takes risk into account when establishing the compensation program and believes that the current structure appropriately balances risk and the desire to focus executives on specific annual and long-term goals while not encouraging unnecessary or excessive risk taking.

The following is an overview of the elements of our compensation and benefits programs for fiscal 2021:

	Pay Element	Description
FIXED	Base Salary	Fixed cash compensation set based on the duties and scope of responsibilities of each executive officer’s position and the experience the individual brings to the position.
AT RISK	Annual Incentives	Cash-based annual incentives that are determined formulaically for our corporate Named Executive Officers. The Cargo Incentive Program allows for annual incentives to Mr. Mehra based on the achievement of certain performance metrics. Mr. Maginnis received a bonus based upon division performance.
AT RISK	Long-Term Incentives	The fiscal 2021 program with respect to the Named Executive Officers consisted of performance-based RSUs, which are earned based on the achievement of pre-established revenue and operating income metrics for each of the three years following grant, as well as an aggregate three-year metric.
	Benefits	Employee Stock Purchase Plan, medical, dental, and vision health insurance plans and life and long-term disability insurance.
	Perquisites	For fiscal 2021, perquisites included a Company car for certain Named Executive Officers.
	Retirement	401(k) retirement plan, which includes a Company match. Nonqualified deferred compensation plan that permits the deferral of salary and cash incentives at executive officers’ election and permits a Company match. Nonqualified defined benefit plan, in which our CEO is the only participant.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Executive Compensation

In fiscal 2021, fixed compensation comprised approximately 12% to 42% and variable compensation comprised approximately 58% to 88% of each Named Executive Officer’s total compensation. Average variable compensation for the Named Executive Officers represented 85% of total compensation.

	CEO Pay Mix			Other NEO Pay Mix

Fixed Compensation. Fixed compensation is intended to compensate our Named Executive Officers for their ongoing responsibilities and consists of base salary. Base salary is set to attract and retain executive talent. Base salaries for our Named Executive Officers are established at levels considered appropriate in light of the duties and scope of responsibilities of each executive officer’s position and the experience the individual brings to the position. Salaries are reviewed periodically, typically on an annual basis.

The Compensation Committee takes a conservative approach with respect to base salary increases. In determining whether base salary levels for fiscal year 2021 were appropriate, the Compensation Committee considered the minimum base salary amount provided for in the Named Executive Officer’s employment agreement, as well as a determination of each Named Executive Officer’s responsibilities, past performance, and expected future contributions. For the first half of fiscal 2021, our Named Executive Officers each took a voluntary 15% salary reduction that remained in place through December 31, 2020.

Variable Compensation. Variable compensation provides our Named Executive Officers with the opportunity for substantial rewards for achieving successful performance and contributing toward sustainable and consistent stockholder returns and consists principally of annual incentive awards and long-term incentive compensation.

Annual Incentive Awards. For fiscal year 2021, all corporate Named Executive Officers (CEO, CFO, and General Counsel) were eligible for an annual incentive pursuant to our annual incentive program with a target incentive opportunity equal to 100% of the salary established at the beginning of the year and a maximum incentive opportunity equal to 200% of salary for our CEO, 150% of salary for our CFO, and 135% of salary for our General Counsel. Annual incentives under this program are designed to focus our participating Named Executive Officers on annual operating achievement and near-term success. Annual incentives are calculated based on a formula tied to adjusted return on equity (“AROE”) metrics, whose goals were increased from the prior fiscal year, as follows:

AROE	% of Base Salary Earned
Less than 14%		0%
15%		25%
16.5%		50%
18.0%		75%
19.75%		100%

The Compensation Committee considers AROE to be an effective annual performance measure for assessing the Company’s efficient use of capital and return to stockholders. The AROE targets were designed to be challenging yet achievable with significant effort and management skill and were established in order to provide the executives sufficient incentive to create long-term stockholder value while at the same time ensuring appropriate risk management. For fiscal 2021, we achieved 22.2% AROE. See the “Non-equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table.

Mr. Maginnis, President, Rapiscan Detection, is eligible to receive a bonus based upon the sales and operating income of Rapiscan. For fiscal year 2021, Mr. Maginnis was awarded a cash bonus of $180,071, which is set forth in the “Non-equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table.

Executive Compensation

Mr. Mehra, President, Cargo Scanning and Solutions, participates in an incentive program tied to the performance of our cargo scanning and solutions business (the “Cargo Incentive Program”). Incentives under the Cargo Incentive Program are awarded based on the operating income of our cargo scanning and solutions business. For fiscal year 2021 performance, Mr. Mehra was awarded a cash bonus of $2,500,000 under this program. The fiscal 2021 award is included in the “Non-equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table.

Long-Term Incentive Program. In order to further promote our philosophy of pay-for-performance and furthering our objective of aligning our executive compensation with our long-term financial goals and factors that create long-term stockholder value as well as incentivizing the desired individual performance of each Named Executive Officer, we have a long-term incentive program.

The grants to our Named Executive Officers during fiscal 2021 were performance based in their entirety. The Compensation Committee believes that this vesting structure provides an incentive for our Named Executive Officers to remain with the Company and also focus the Named Executive Officers on consistently achieving corporate performance and business objectives for the benefit of our stockholders.

Our overall long-term incentive program is designed to retain our Named Executive Officers and to align the interests of our Named Executive Officers with the long-term interests of our stockholders, namely the achievement of sustainable, long-term stock price appreciation. All equity awards are made at fair market value on the date of grant (which is the date on which the Compensation Committee authorizes the grant). Under our equity incentive plan as in effect on the date of grant, fair market value is determined by the closing price of our Common Stock on such dates.

The Compensation Committee has established a three-year program for long-term performance-based incentive grants to our Named Executive Officers. The program provides for yearly initial grants of equity. Each award is 100% performance based and vests based on the level of performance achieved for the following metrics: compound annual revenue growth and compound annual operating income growth. The Compensation Committee considers compound annual growth revenue and operating income metrics to be effective long-term performance measures for assessing the Company’s performance over multiple years. The targets are designed to be challenging yet achievable with significant effort and management skill, incentivizing management to create long-term stockholder value while at the same time ensuring appropriate risk management. Revenue and operating income figures are as reported in accordance with GAAP in our annual report on Form 10-K. Compound annual growth rate is measured as compared to our fiscal year 2017 as-reported figures. As described below, the majority of the shares that can be earned under this program is based upon three-year performance, while additional shares can be earned based upon year one and year two performance.

Each initial grant would vest based upon the performance levels achieved for a three-year performance period for each metric based on the charts set forth below, which show the applicable metrics, weightings, and potential vesting percentage based upon performance level achieved.

During fiscal year 2021, our Compensation Committee approved an amendment to our long-term incentive program as applicable to our Chief Executive Officer to extend the program to include fiscal years 2022 and 2023 and to increase the potential additional shares that our Chief Executive Officer can earn under the compound annual operating income growth metric in accordance with the chart below. 90% of any additional shares earned under the program will vest on the date such shares are granted, and 10% will vest on the one-year anniversary of the date such shares are granted.

In the event of a change of control, the initial grant would vest upon the change of control; performance for any annual periods remaining in association with a particular grant will be assumed to be achieved at the maximum payout levels for the purposes of awarding additional incentive shares or units in connection with the change of control.

Our compound annual revenue growth for fiscal year 2021 was 4.5%, and our compound annual operating income growth for fiscal year 2021 was 17.8%. Therefore, our executive officers earned additional shares as follows: Mr. Chopra: 126,340 shares; Mr. Edrick, 27,534 shares; Mr. Mehra, 8,432 shares; Mr. Sze, 23,710 shares; and Mr. Maginnis, 3,976 shares.

The Compensation Committee determines, after consultation with our Chief Executive Officer, the target number of equity awards to grant to our Named Executive Officers. The grant amounts for our Chief Executive Officer are determined solely by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee considers individual performance, including the following quantitative and qualitative factors, as well as overall corporate performance.

For fiscal year 2021 performance share calculation purposes, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel, and President of our Cargo Scanning and Solutions Business are measured against consolidated Company performance, and the President of Rapiscan Detection has his performance results weighted 70% based on division performance and 30% based on consolidated Company performance.

Benefits and Perquisites. Benefits and perquisites are designed to attract and retain key employees. Currently, our Named Executive Officers are eligible to participate in benefit plans available to all employees, including our 401(k) Plan, Employee Stock Purchase Plan, medical, dental, and vision health insurance plans and life and long-term disability insurance plans. The 401(k) Plan, Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the medical, dental and vision plans require each participant to pay a contributory amount. We have elected to pay amounts contributed to medical, dental and vision health insurance plans and life and long-term disability insurance plans on behalf of our Named Executive Officers. In addition, we maintain an executive medical reimbursement plan under which our Named Executive Officers receive reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses not covered by their health insurance plans. Employee individual plan contributions are subject to the maximum contribution allowed by the Internal Revenue Code. We lease automobiles for or provide an auto allowance to certain of our Named Executive Officers.

We maintain a Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”) that is unfunded for federal tax purposes and allows certain of our Named Executive Officers and a select group of other managers or highly compensated employees (as designated by the Compensation Committee) to defer a specified percentage of certain compensation, including salary, bonuses and commissions. Distributions may be made in a lump sum (or in installments if elected in accordance with the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan) upon termination of employment, disability, a specified withdrawal date or death. Additional information about this plan is summarized below under the heading “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation.”

We also maintain a Nonqualified Defined Benefit Plan (the “Defined Benefit Plan”) that is unfunded for federal tax purposes and that constitutes an unsecured promise by the Company to make payments to participants in the future following their retirement, termination in connection with a change in control of the Company, or their death or disability. Under the terms of the Defined Benefit Plan, a committee designated by the Board may select participants from among our Named Executive Officers and a select group of managers or other highly compensated employees. Currently, Mr. Chopra is the only participant in this plan. Additional information about this plan is summarized below under the heading “Pension Benefits.”

Total Compensation Mix. While the Compensation Committee does not apply a predetermined or mathematical weighting to determine the fixed and variable elements of compensation, the Compensation Committee believes that the elements described above provide a well-proportioned mix of equity based, at risk or performance-based compensation, and retention-based compensation that produces short-term and long-term incentives and rewards. We believe this compensation mix provides our Named Executive Officers a measure of security as to the minimum levels of compensation that they are eligible to receive, while motivating the Named Executive Officers to focus on the business measures that will produce a high level of corporate performance, as well as reducing the risk of recruitment of highly qualified executive talent by our competitors. The mix of annual incentives and the equity-based awards likewise provides an appropriate balance between short-term financial performance and long-term financial and stock performance. We believe that this compensation mix results in a pay-for-performance orientation that is aligned with our compensation philosophy, which takes into account individual, group and Company performance.

Bases for Our Compensation Policies and Decisions

In determining compensation awarded to our Named Executive Officers for fiscal 2021, the Compensation Committee performed a review of both overall and relative individual Named Executive Officer and corporate performance based on the qualitative and quantitative factors described in the table below. The factors considered did not have any predetermined or mathematical weighting; rather, the Compensation Committee considered the overall performance of each executive, considering the factors, and including consideration of unplanned events

and issues emerging during the fiscal year. Each factor was evaluated and taken into consideration in the Compensation Committee’s overall determination of each Named Executive Officer’s total compensation package, including both the amount of compensation as well as allocation of such compensation between short-term and long-term components.

	Qualitative Factors			Quantitative Factors
	■ Furtherance of long-term goals ■ Individual performance and experience ■ Demonstration of leadership skills and ability ■ Achievement of strategic targets ■ Management of unplanned events and issues emerging during the fiscal year			■ Compensation paid in prior years ■ Financial performance of Company/division/ business unit ■ Peer group compensation and performance data ■ Compensation surveys provided by external advisors

The Compensation Committee’s review included evaluating the compensation of the Named Executive Officers in light of information regarding the compensation practices and corporate financial performance of other companies. In making its determinations, the Compensation Committee reviewed information summarizing the compensation paid at peer group companies and more broad-based compensation surveys. The companies in the fiscal 2021 peer group were developed based on similarity in size and operations within the industries in which we operate as follows:

■

AAR Corp.

Coherent, Inc.

The peer companies were selected based on a set of established criteria intended to select companies that are similar in size, operate in similar end markets, proportional to our principal lines of business, and compete with us for executive talent. Companies were selected from the aerospace and defense, communications equipment, electronic equipment instruments, and components, and healthcare equipment and supplies industries, and chosen based on a range of comparable financial metrics.

In connection with executive compensation decisions for fiscal 2021, the Compensation Committee engaged independent compensation consulting firm, Pearl Meyer. The Compensation Committee also considered compensation levels and practices for executives holding comparable positions and adjustments based on the cost of living in certain geographic areas. This review further assisted the Compensation Committee in determining the appropriate level and mix of compensation for each Named Executive Officer. In connection with its review, the Compensation Committee also considered that certain Named Executive Officers were located in the high cost of living area in the geographic location of our Company headquarters.

While the Compensation Committee did not engage in formal benchmarking with pre-established targets, the Compensation Committee reviewed our actual performance taken as a whole as well as our performance relative to our peer group and established compensation levels at the competitive level that it believed most appropriately corresponded to our comparative performance.

The Compensation Committee believes that the fixed component of compensation is designed to compensate each Named Executive Officer based on the duties and scope of responsibilities of his position and the experience he brings to the position. Consistent with the Company’s pay-for-performance philosophy, the variable component of compensation, in the form of annual incentives and performance-based equity grants comprised a significant portion of total compensation.

The Compensation Committee’s compensation decisions are designed to encourage performance that enhances long-term stockholder value. The Compensation Committee believes that attracting and retaining executive talent capable of achieving our long-term, strategic objectives is the best way to align executive compensation decisions with the interests of stockholders. The Compensation Committee also believes that meeting financial targets as well as near-term strategic goals demonstrates whether an executive is on track to accomplish longer-term objectives.

Executive Compensation

Minimum Equity Ownership and Retention Guidelines

We believe that our executive officers should hold a significant amount of Company equity to link their long-term economic interests directly to those of our stockholders. Accordingly, we have established requirements that executive officers own at minimum equity of the Company valued at five times their respective annual base salaries. We believe that this multiple constitutes significant amounts for our executive officers and provides a substantial link between the interests of our executive officers and those of our stockholders. Executive officers have five years from the date of appointment to attain such ownership levels. During such time that an executive officer has not attained the share ownership guideline, such officer is required to retain at least 50% of the shares acquired upon exercise of options or vesting of restricted stock awards or units, net of amounts required to pay taxes and exercise price. We periodically review our minimum equity ownership guidelines. Each of our Named Executive Officers meets or exceeds our minimum equity ownership guidelines with the exception of Mr. Maginnis who joined the Company in July 2017.

Clawback Policy

We have adopted a clawback policy. The policy provides that if an accounting restatement is required due to our material non-compliance with any accounting requirements, then we will seek to recover any excess in the cash and equity incentive compensation earned by all of our executive officers, regardless of whether they were at fault or not in the circumstances leading to the restatement, over the prior three years over what they would have earned if there had not been a material non-compliance in the financial statements. Each Named Executive Officer’s employment agreement also contains a clawback provision.

Policy Prohibiting the Hedging or Pledging of Company Stock

We have adopted a policy that prohibits our employees and directors from entering into any transaction that is designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of our Common Stock or other equity securities. Our Board has determined that transactions in mutual funds or other similar type investment vehicles that contain less than 50% Company stock at the time of an employee’s or director’s initial investment is not considered a hedge for purposes of our policy. We have also adopted a policy that prohibits our executive officers and directors from holding Company stock or other equity securities in margin accounts or pledging Company stock or other equity securities as collateral for a loan. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, no shares of Company stock are pledged by any Named Executive Officer or director.

Employment Agreements

We have entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Chopra, Edrick, Mehra, and Sze and an offer letter with Mr. Maginnis. The terms of each of such agreements or arrangements are summarized below under the heading “Employment Agreements.” These types of arrangements are used to retain executives and formalize the terms of the executives’ employment.

Tax Considerations

The Compensation Committee considers applicable tax laws in structuring and modifying its compensation arrangements and employee benefit plans. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally places a $1 million limit on the amount of compensation a publicly held company can deduct in any tax year on compensation paid to “covered employees.” Prior to the passage of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, performance-based compensation paid to our “covered employees” was generally excluded from this $1 million deduction limit. As a result of changes in the tax law, this previously-available exclusion for performance-based compensation is generally no longer available. While the Compensation Committee considers tax deductibility as one of many factors in determining executive compensation, the Compensation Committee will award compensation that it determines to be consistent with the goals of our executive compensation program even if such compensation is not tax deductible.
